30 Humorous Comics By Chris Hallbeck That Might Make You Squeeze Out A Smile (New Pics)
"When I was a kid, one of my dream jobs was becoming a newspaper cartoonist. By the time I finished college, newspapers were dying and my dream job was dying along with them. But at the same time, the internet was growing. I kept drawing comics and putting them on the internet for anyone to see. A few years later, I was able to quit my day job and live off of just my cartooning income. I stopped chasing my dream job but it came back and found me," the hero of this article, Chris Hallbeck, first introduced himself on Bored Panda.
Right now, the artist has more than 679 thousand followers on Instagram alone where he shares his simplistic, yet wonderful comics! We've collected some of his best work for you, our pandas, to enjoy, and if you feel like it's not enough to quench your thirst, check out more of his comics in our previous post here.

Chris started cartooning back in high school. He used to draw a character named Biff to entertain his best friend, which later turned into single-panel comics during college. Later on, the artist decided to share his work on the web, and having experienced some ups and downs, he is now a very well-known artist.
Chris has been publishing comics on the internet since 2006 with his single-panel comic The Book of Biff, followed by his multi-panel strip Maximumble. He's also the co-creator of Library Comic, which for the time being has more than 75k followers on Instagram!
One of Chris' earliest influences was the classic Peanuts, which he read hundreds of times. As he matured, he read Bloom County, Calvin & Hobbes, and The Far Side. He has many favorites in terms of webcomics, like Chainsaw Suit, Broodhollow, Gunshow Comic, Nedroid, Invisible Bread, and Left-Hand Cartoons, just to mention a few.
Chris has previously shared some of his work on Bored Panda as well. His very first post received around 70k views. After that, he created two posts showcasing his comics about a little monster that started living under a girl's bed. You can check out those articles here and here.
